The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

July 16

The house is not for me—it is for him.

His royal thoughts require many a stair,

Many a tower, many an outlook fair,

Of which I have no thought, and need no care.

Where I am most perplexed, it may be there

Thou mak'st a secret chamber, holy-dim,

Where thou wilt come to help my deepest prayer.
